In order to send a ship to be recycled, it is important that every vessel has its own inventory of hazardous materials. Also known as the Green Passport, this requirement is made mandatory by the Hong Kong Convention. The concept of the convention was first brought forward at a conference which was held in Hong Kong back in 2009. Led by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a reputable agency of the United Nations, the diplomatic conference was attended by numerous delegates belonging to 63 countries of the world.

Hazardous Materials

It is said that by 2015, the convention will become obligatory as a result of which all vessels having a weight of over 500GT will have to possess an inventory as a must.

The main aim of the inventory is to guard those who might be at risk due to hazardous materials present on the ship. Tho

se who may be harmed as a result of this include the workforce on the ship, the laborers present on the recycle locations as well as the workers who provide their services on the ship yards. Several elements that may pose hazardous risks include TBTs, PCBs, ODS, contaminants and asbestos. However, for a recycle, this account is not enough and therefore showing a detailed inventory is a must.
Ship Survey is a unique organization that provides its services to conduct necessary audits and surveys in order to determine the inventory of hazardous materials present on a vessel. As per the convenience, the survey can be conducted either in the sea or at a port.
Once the survey is done with, the officer will compile a complete list to the owner who can then tally and update his own inventory. In order to keep the Green Passport active and working, annual inspection is a must. However, an in and out survey can be conducted after every five years. It is always better to have the same company conduct the survey as it will help to keep your survey and inspections in budget. Contact us for your inventory of hazardous materials today.
